Borinquen

It was God's idea
He plucked a star
From his sky to create
From a beautiful dream
A childlike land
That he caressed
As the river descended
From the mountain

Borinquen was born
Flower of wonders
Like a little boat
Floating in the blue sea
And as the light was born
In the middle of the sea
The radiant green could be seen
Throughout the place

Oh faith in the countryside
The farmers harvest the pineapple
And it seems like a violin
The trill of the thrush in its song
A hope is born
In a song of my land
And from my song
A rich guaracha

It was God's idea
Borinquen was born in the middle of the sea
Borinquen was born, in the middle of the sea

It was God's idea, he plucked a star
To create Puerto Rico as a whole
It was God's idea
Borinquen was born in the middle of the sea

Everyone visits her
To be able to see
The beauty of her little island
Oh, how truly beautiful she is

It was God's idea
Borinquen was born in the middle of the sea
It was God's idea
Borinquen was born in the middle of the sea

Today I feel proud
To be able to dedicate
To the land of enchantment
Feeling in my song

It was God's idea
Borinquen was born in the middle of the sea

It's my beautiful Borinquen
The number one land
That's why I want to offer her
This dance with montuno

It was God's idea
Borinquen was born in the middle of the sea
